This story is a sequel to Diary of the Night

Even since my return, plagued by trepidation and doubt, I find the battlefield is by far the easier place to meet an enemy. Even amidst the blood, steel, and chaos there is an order to things. I at very least know how I am expected to act. Even now, as Twilight rides to meet Sombra in the north I would rather her place. Even with my newfound unwillingness to kill and even if Celestia’s suspicions are correct and he was the source of my corruption, I would still rather meet the dark king in the fullness of his power than the broken queen Celestia would attempt a friendship with.
